How To Get To Pura Lempuyang Temple Bali
Located on the most eastern point of the island, Pura Lempuyang Temple Bali is around 2 hours from Ubud and 2 and a half hours from Canggu. We stayed in the Canggu area and rented scooters long term, although you can pick them up for around 50,000 Rupiah per day. Many people heading to East Bali choose to stay in the small beach town of Amed, which is around 30 minutes from Pura Lempuyang.
